BRO, Back on the first of April we were very fortunate to adopt Bentley (aka Rocky). Having lost our third boxer a few months earlier we eventually found there was room in our broken hearts for another. Not having adopted before, we really weren’t sure what to expect, but Bentley has been an absolute joy. He has given us unconditional love and we have managed to completely spoil him in return. We’d like to thank all the staff at BRO for their dedication and support and a special thanks to Linda who has helped us through the transition. Bentley especially loves to go to the cottage where he can run on the beach. I have attached a couple of before and after pictures of his favourite places. Once again, thanks for all your help! Debbie and
George. (adopted March 29, 2006) |

It seems I've had boxers in my life since...well since before I could walk. The hardest thing about having a boxer, is losing that boxer to old age or a health issue. I was determined that after losing my boy Hercules, I'd never have another dog in my life. ...riiight In January 2006, a spunky puppy named Jake needed to find a new home. I was sure I wasn't ready to bring another live warm, fuzzy, smushy faced, loveable boxer into my life on a full time, or even part time basis. Ok well..that's what I thought anyway. Then there was Jake ... (could make a song out of that sentence). To say Jake was spunky, is probably a huge understatement. (Think Kangaroo on a leash here). He had been moved about a bit in order to find him a forever home. Some times, you need to make a few changes before things turn out just right for everyone. Those changes can be unsettling if you're not sure where the road ends. That's how I thought of Jake's situation. He needs to find the end of the road and stay put to enjoy the view! I spoke to Linda from Boxer Rescue, and we discussed the kind of home... and human, Jake probably needed to be around. Cuz it's all about who puts the food in the dish at the end of the day, that counts. After what seemed like a few weeks....which was actually a few months, of having Jake in my care, I made a very difficult decision to adopt Jake. Difficult, because I wanted very much to make sure I could give Jake the love and attention ... LOTS and LOTS of attention, he needed, to be the best furry buddy a boxer could be. Anything less than 110% of my commitment on a full time basis, would only do Jake harm. I was also sceptical that I'd not be able to love Jake as much as I loved and cared for ole Hercules. Train and help along the road to a new family...yes. But adopt him myself, well that was a tough decision. Can you see this coming? ....... Well all the walls fell down and Jake jumped the broken remains, to land firmly on my heart for ever and ever ... THE END. Ok well not the end really.
My relationship with Jake is an ongoing work in progress as is any relationship regardless of who...or in this case what species, it's with. We went from "who the heck are you" when I picked him up, to "oh no not you again!" When I give him a command. Having another boxer in my life, and yes specifically Jake, has made a huge amount of difference in my life again. I won't go in to all the ways he has enriched my life.....foster or adopt a boxer yourself and find out why every human on the end of a leash connected to a boxer, is always, ALWAYS smiling!! Extra special thanks to all the supportive and encouraging folks from Boxer Rescue Ontario! (adopted March 24, 2006) |
